1338 — CYCLAMEN, FARQUHARS' COLUMBIAN LARGE FLOWERING STRAINS. 



Awarded highest prize World's Columbian Exposition, Chicago. The Cyclamen specialists of 

 the world sent their seeds to be grown in competition to the Horticultural Department of the 

 World's Fair. Our strains were much superior to any. 



The Garden and Forest, April 5, 1893. in commencing on the Exhibition of Cyclamen Plants at 

 the World's Fair, says : '• The exhibit of R. & J. Farquhar & Company, Boston, is one of the 

 largest and makes the best impression as a whole. Their Mont Blanc Cyclamen is the finest 

 Whitein the Exhibition, if not the best of any strain. * » • ♦ The contrast was 

 great between the small- flowering type (of another exhibitor) and the large flowers in the exhi- 

 bition of R. & J. Farquhar & Companv." , ^ , i *. 



The strain is peculiarly valuable; not only are the flowers very large and of perfect model, but 

 ,they are borne in great numbers on strong stems which carry the flowers high above the foli- 

 age. No other large flowering strain is of this character, and we caution our friends against 

 substitutes. All the choice colors are included in our mixture. Per Packet, 50 cents.

 grow decorative plants. Per packet, 50 cents.
